INTRODUCTION-. 


In  calling  public  attention  to  the  superb  Models  and  .Specimens  of 
the  Human  Body,  which  forms  so  interesting  a  feature  in  the  New 
York  Museum  of  Anatomy,  it  may  be  proper  to  state,  tha^ 
the  primary  object  has  been  to  enable  the  thinking  mind  fully  to 
comprehend  the  wonders  of  the  human  structure,  whilst  the  familiar 
classification  and  descriptive  accounts  attached  to  the  various  arti¬ 
cles  in  the  collection  enable  the  non-medical  visitor  to  turn  the  In 
stitution  to  real  practical  account,  in  the  acquirement  of  knowledge, 
which  is  not  now.  as  was  formerly  the  case,  confined  to  the  mere 
professional  student. 

To  those  laboring  under  diseases  much  useful  knowledge  will  aiso 
be  acquired,  by  a  study  of  the  Pathological  division  of  the  Institu¬ 
tion.  Here  the  marvellous  reality  with  which  the  effects  of  certain 
diseases  are  delineated,  speak  the  skill  of  the  anatomical  artist, 
whilst  they  convey  a  powerful  moral  lesson  of  the  deceitfulness  of 
vice,  which,  amidst  its  most  seductive  allurements,  leaves  so  fear¬ 
ful  an  impress  indelibly  marked  on  the  human  frame. 

From  the  great  extent  and  varied  excellence  of  the  subjects  in  the 
Institution,  it  is  difficult  to  particularize  their  individual  claims  to 
attention.  But  it  must  be  sufficiently  obvious  that  the  extraordi¬ 
nary  work  of  artistical  skill  described  at  No.  459,  possess  merit  ot  a 
very  high  order.  By  the  .temporary  removal  of  a  portion  of  the 
body,  we  have  placed  before  us  all  the  most  important  organs  ;  so 
that,  without  pursuing  our  investigations  in  the  “  blood  and  filth  of 
the  dissecting  room,”  which  was  formerly  considered  indispensable, 
we  may  fully  comprehend  the  whole  of  the  secrets  of  nature  s  handi¬ 
work.

The  wonders  of  Embryology  are  fully  exhibited  in  the  interesting 
series  of  natural  preparations,  preserved  in  spirits  of  wine,  in  this 
division  of  the  Institute.  The  labor  of  preparation  will  readily  be 
understood  by  a  reference  to  the  fact  that  every  stage  of  develope- 
ment  is  clearly  shown,  from  the  embryo  of  the  eighth  day  to  the 
complete  foetus.  This  extensive  series  of  natural  preparations  is 
preceded  by  views  of  the  uterus  and  vagina,  which  have  also  excited 
great  interest,  for  their  perfect  illustration  of  the  scientific  anatomy 
of  the  subject. 

In  the  Works  of  Art  which  form  so  important  a  feature  of  attrac¬ 
tion  in  the  Institution,  great  care  has  been  paid  to  the  selection  of 
subjects  which  bear  on  the  beauties  of  the  human  form.  Thus, 
whilst  a  figure,  the  size  of  life,  gives  a  perfect  representation  of  the 
muscular  arrangement  by  which  motion  is  imparted,  the  perfection 
of  feminine  be  aity  is  exquisitely  portrayed  in  the  large  figure  of 
Venus,  and  the  great  and  world-renowned  Gertu,  by  eminent  Ital¬ 
ian  masters.  The  same  remarks  apply  to  the  pictures  which  adorn 
the  walls  of  the  building. 

But  in  the  list  of  anatomical  and  physiological  wonders  that  pre¬ 
sent  tin  nisei ves  to  the  visitor,  we  must  not  omit  to  notice  some  of 
the  extraordinary  cases  where  a  direct  departure  from  the  ordinary 
structural  arrangements  present  themselves.  Thus  a  “  Child  with 
the  Tail  of  a  Fish  ”  is  in  the  immediate  neighborhood  of  a  “Boy 
with  Two  Faces,”  whilst  another  example  of  a  real  child  with  “One  , 
Head  united  to  Two  Bodies  ”  may  be  considered  as  a  lusus  natures  of 
no  ordinary  interest.

the  guillotine.  He  confessed  on  his  death-bed,  and  also  stated 
he  had,  when  quite  a  child  pushed  a  playmate  into  the  river,  and 
held  his  head  under  the  water  till  he  was  drowned.  He  could  as¬ 
sign  no  cause  for  his  propensity  ;  but  an  inspection  of  his  phrenol¬ 
ogical  developemeut  will  show  the  great  preponderance  of  the  ani¬ 
mal  passions. 

28  The  skeleton  of  Mr.  Alfred  Shooney,  aged  32,  who  resided 
at  St.  Ives,  Cornwall,  England.  He  was  only  4  feet  high,  aDd  died

45  Showing  the  eighth  month  of  pregnancy. 

46  Showing  the  ninth  month  of  pregnancy.  These  beautiful 
models,  nine  in  number,  illustrate  the  different  changes  and  posi¬ 
tions  naturally)  the  child  undergoes  in  the  womb,  from  the  first  to 
the  ninth  month  of  ultro-gestation  or  pregnancy.  A  careful  inspec¬ 
tion  of  these  can  not  fail  to  bring  to  remembrance  the  words  :  “  We 
are  fearfully  and  wonderfully  made.”  The  duration  of  pregnancy 
varies.  Generally  it  lasts  nine  calendar  months,  forty  weeks,  or

48  One  drop  of  male  Semen,  or  Seed  of  Nature,  which  is  magni¬ 
fied  500  times.  In  cases  ot  impotency  this  does  not  exist  in  the  sys¬ 
tem,  and  in  order  that  conception  should  take  place  it  is  necessary 
that  one  of  those  spermatozoa  should  attach  itself  to  the  ovum  or 
egg  in  the  female  ovary. 

49  Fine  dissection  of  the  leg. 

50  Anatomical  head  and  bust,  very  fine.

69  Another  case  of  the  above  in  a  milder  form. 

70  Head  of  the  celebrated  Madame  La  Frusch,  who  lived  in 
Dieppe,  to  the  great  age  of  140,  and  two  days  previous  to  her  death 
was  in  possession  of  all  her  faculties. 

71  to  73  Twins  and  triplets — two  in  the  membrane,  and  one 
laid  bare  to  show  its  formation. 

74  to  75  Three  and  five  months’  foetus. 

76  Deformed  child  in  the  womb,  showing  part  ot  the  placenta, 
or  after-birth. 

77  to  78  Foetus,  placenta,  and  uterus. 

79  Hand  of  Goliah,  the  celebrated  Irish  giant,  (who  was  7  feet 
high,  and  measured  175  inches  around  the  chest ;)  with  the  skin  re¬ 
moved  to  show  the  sense  of  touch. 

80  Magnificent  dissection  of  the  arm,  wonderful  for  its  splendid 
proportions. 

81  Case  of  purpura  hemorrhagica,  or  bleeding  scurvy.  This 
disease  commences  with  debility,  inaptitude  for  bodily  or  mental 
exertion,  pains  in  the  limbs,  giddiness,  more  or  less  followed  by  an 
eruption  of  small  round  patches  of  a  dark  red  color,  occasionally 
filled  with  blood  ;  gums  livitf,  swollen,  and  bleeding  ;  in  some  cases 
it  will  extend  over  the  entire  body. 

82  This  case  represents  the  use  of  the  speculum  uteri,  by  look¬ 
ing  up  which  you  cau  perceive  cancer  at  the  neck  of  the  womb. 

83  This  model  (from  nature)  represents  cancer  of  the  breast. 

The  precautions  for  an  operation  are  :  Is  the  constitution  unimpair¬ 
ed  ?  Does  the  tumor  remain  moveable  under  the  parts  diseased,  and 
are  the  glands  in  the  armpit  not  much  affected  ? 

84  Cancer  of  the  breast,  in  a  different  form. 

85  Wen,  or  bronchocele  goitre.  This  disease  is  endemic  in  cer¬ 
tain  localities,  such  as  Derbyshire,  Switzerland,  and  high  mountain¬ 
ous  disiricts,  produced  by  the  use  of  the  water. 

86  to  88  Twins,  triplets,  and  malformation  of  the  uterus. 

89  to  91  Affections  of  the  ear,  produced  by  an  impure  state  of 
the  blood. 

92  Showing  the  virginity,  or  virgin  “state  of  the  female  before 
oopulation. 

93  Showing  the  internal  parts  of  the  female  after  copulation. 

94  and  95  These  models  should  be  well  looked  into  by  visitors, 
as  they  have  been  pronounced  in  England,  France,  and  Italy,  to  be 
beautifully  correct.  They  are  the  Aspinall  Children,  brothers. 
Their  father,  Mr.  Aspinall,  was  clerk  to  the  London  and  North- 
Western  Railway  Company.  He  starved  them  to  death,  and  was  » 
executed  in  July,  1856.  Child  No.  95  shows  the  effects  of  starva¬ 
tion  on  the  intestines,  and  also  the  anatomy  of  the  arm. 

96  Skull  of  Robert  Burns,  the  much-admired  Scotch  bard. 


9 


97  Handsome  dissection  of  the  hand. 

98  to  102  Ovums,  from  21  days  to  three  months. 

103  Most  perfect  natural  dissection  of  the  heart,  liver,  gall, 
/  bladder  and  stomach  of  the  lamb. 

104  Dissection  of  the  trunk  and  thighs. 

105  The  celebrated  French  general,  Le  Brune,  who,  for  apolit¬ 
ical  offense,  was  skinned.  He  lived  in  the  greatest  torture  for  some 
time  afterwards. 

106  Splendid  dissection  of  the  head,  showing  the  brains,  the 
trachea  or  windpipe,  the  nerves  and  arteries.  This  has  been  highly 
and  justly  appreciated  as  a  great  work  of  art. 

107  to  108  Tongue,  uvula  and  thorax,  showing  ulceration  in 
the  latter. 

109  to  111  Foetus  of  three,  six,  and  nine  months. 

112  Womb,  containing  a  three  months’  foetus. 

113  A  natural  specimen  of  the  head,  with  the  teeth  preserved, 
also  the  tongue  and  eye,  showing  the  internal  structure.  The  nerves 
are  injected,  to  trace  their  source. 

114  Tongue  magnified,  with  excoriations  at  its  stump. 

115  Child’s  head  compressed,  showing  that  the  pelvis  of  the 
mother  was  small  in  proportion  to  the  size  of  the  head. 

116  Splendid  figure,  showing  the  muscles  of  the  body. 

117  to  118  Twins  and  triplets  in  uterus 

119  The  Caesarian  operation  or  histerotomy.  This  figure  re¬ 
presents  a  female  undergoing  this  formidable  and  dangerous  opera¬ 
tion.  It  is  of  very  ancient  date,  having  been  performed  by  the 
Greeks,  but  it  is  supposed  that  they  only  employed  it  to  save  the 
child  after  the  death  of  the  mother.  This  operation  is  in  fact  the 
dernier  resort  of  midwifery.  Caeso  Fabius  was  thus  born  or  extract¬ 
ed  ;  also  Julius  Caesar,  though  it  is  wrong  to  say  he  was  called 
Caesar  on  this  account,  because  he  inherited  his  name  from  his 
father.  Among  the  ancients,  persons  thus  born  were  considered 
sacred  to  Apollo. 

120  The  fearful  effects  of  tight  lacing.  All  will  see  in 
this  the  evil  influences  of  the  once  fashionable  habit,  as  in  the  case 
before  us  the  mother  was  pregnant,  and  from  the  extreme  pressure 
on  the  lungs,  heart,  etc.,  she  dropped  down  dead  in  a  fit  of  apoplexy. 

121  Much- admired  dissection  of  the  leg  and  foot. 

122  Much-admired  dissection  of  the  arm. 

123  The  foot  of  a  Chinese  Mandarian,  exhibiting  extraordinai  y 
deformity. 

124  Model  representing  the  natural  position  of  the  child  in 
utero.  The  arms  are  folded  on  the  chest,  the  knees  drawn  up  over 
the  abdomen,  and  the  head  bent  on  the  chest. 


10 


125  Case  of  ovarium  tumor,  lately  in  the  possession  of  the  Col¬ 
lege  of  Surgeons,  England,  and  presented  to  the  proprietors. 

126  Enlargement  of  the  liver  of  a  captain  in  the  navy,  who, 

two  days  before  his  death,  drank  the  enormous  quantity  of  one 
gallon  of  brandy.  This  is  natural.  \ 

127  This  model  represents  a  case  in  which  the  face  is  in  the 
hollow  of  the  sacrum  ;  and,  from  the  size  of  the  child’s  head,  or 
the  smallness  of  the  mother’s  parts,  the  surgeon  is  obliged  to  use 
the  forceps.  This  operation  is  not  so  dangerous  as  it  would  appear 
by  the  model,  although  in  some  instances  serious  consequences 
ensue. 

128  Model  of  the  brain.  The  brain  is  divided  into  tht*e  por¬ 
tions,  viz.,  the  cerebrum,  cerebellum,  and  medulla  oblongata.  The 
cerebrum  is  the  largest  of  the  three  divisions,  is  of  an  oval  form, 
and  divided  into  two  equal  parts,  called  hemispheres,  by  a  fissure 
that  extends  along  the  median  line,  upon  its  upper  surrace,  and  con¬ 
tains  the  falx  cerebri  and  the  arteries  of  the  corpus  callosum.  At 
the  base  of  the  brain  the  cerebrum  is  also  divided  at  each  extremity 
by  the  median  fissure  ;  but  in  the  centre  both  hemispheres  are 
united  upon  its  under  surface. 

129  Back  view  of  brain. 

130  Side  view  of  brain. 

131  Front  view  of  brain. 

132  A  most  extraordinary  freak  of  nature,  a  lamb  preserved, 
found  in  a  sheep  after  it  had  been  slaughtered. 

133  Superb  small  anatomical  medel,  showing  the  beautiful  and 
healthy  developement  of  the  muscles.  We  learn  the  healthy  struc¬ 
tures  of  the  body  by  dissection,  and  the  healthy  conditions  of  its 
functions  by  close  observation. 

134  Much-admired  section  of  the  cranium,  showing  nerves,  ar¬ 
teries,  etc. 

135  to  192  A  magnificent,  Unsized,  anatomical  figure.  This 
model  is  well  worthy  of  inspection,  having  elicited  the  highest  en¬ 
comiums  from  artists  and  the  public  in  general.  It  shows  57  muscles 
of  the  human  frame. 

193  Beautiful  dissection  of  the  intestines  of  the  female. 

194  Perfect  representation  of  the  male. 

195  The  tree  of  life,  the  only  copy  in  the  world,  pronounced  to 
be  the  most  elaborate  specimen  ever  beheld. 

196  Ancient  and  wonderful  specimen  of  skeletons  ;  copied  from 
a  stone  found  in  Palestine,  Holy  Land. 

197  Perfect  representation  of  a  beautiful  woman,  which  must 
be  admired  by  the  opposite  sex. 

198  A  wonderful  specimen  of  a  seven  months’  child,  showing 
life  within  life.

ries,  etc. 

202  Back  view  of  the  same. 

203  A  magnificent  dissection  of  the  arm,  with  the  natural  skin 
thrown  over.  Presented  to  the  proprietors  by  the  College  of  Sur¬ 
geons,  England. 

204  Back  view  of  the  brain  and  spine.  Victims  of  masturba¬ 
tion  invariably  suffer  from  affection  of  the  spine  or  back. 

205  Front  view  of  spine  and  brain. 

206  to  208  Magnified  tongue  with  38  and  CO  days’  embryo. 

209  Fine  dissection  of  the  head. 

210  Healthy  semen,  or  seed  of  nature,  one  thousand  times  mag¬ 
nified. 

211  Healthy  semen,  fifteen  hundred  times  magnified.

imagine  that  phymosis  and  paraphymosis  ape  entirely  avoided  by 
the  operation,  but  such  is  not  the  fact,  inasmuch  as  we  have  met 
with  it  in  our  private  practice  several  times  amongst  members  of

transmits  to  the  right  ventricle,  from  thence  to  the  lungs.

tube,  extending  from  the  crycoid  cartilage  of  the  larynx  to  a  levef

twenty  fibrocartilaginous  rings,  contorted  behind,  and  connected  to 
each  other  by  elastic  bands.  Opposite  the  third  dorsal  vertebra  it, 
divides  into  the  right  and  left  bronchial  tubes.  The  right  bronchue 
is  larger  than  the  left  and  runs  transversely  into  the  root  of  the 
lung,  and  divides  into  three  branches.  On  the  left  side  of  the

670  Ulceration  of  the  prepuce  and  glans,  eating  into  the  body 
of  the  penis,  with  syphilitic  eruptions  on  the  abdomen.  This  case  came

685  The  genital  organs  of  an  unfortunate  victim  of  self-abuse. 
It  will  be  seen  that  the  testicles  are  small  and  wasted,  being  no 
larger  than  a  childs.  This  case  occurred  in  Boston,  but  after  a 
course  of  treatment  the  organs  were  developed. 

686  G  angrene  of  the  penis.  Gangrene  is  always  to  be  consid¬ 
ered  the  worst  termination  of  inflammation.  The  circumstances,  to 
give  a  favorable  prognosis,  would  be  a  strong  constitution,  with 
youth,  the  system  not  much  affected,  slight  irritation,  strong  pulse, 
the  diseased  parts  being  disposed  to  separate  from  the  sound,  indi¬ 
cated  by  an  elevated  white  mark  surrounding  them.
